- Dynisma Ltd.® has installed its race-proven DMG-1 driving simulator for the McLaren Hypercar Team at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, UK
- F1-bred low-latency, high-bandwidth DMG (Dynisma Motion Generator) technology delivers an experience as close to reality as possible
- McLaren Hypercar Team will utilise the simulator to support development of its MCL-HY Hypercar ahead of the 2027 FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Bristol, UK, 21 July 2026
Dynisma Ltd.® has signed an agreement to supply its world-leading motion simulation technology to McLaren Hypercar Team for use in the development of its FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) Hypercar programme.
The team is now benefitting from the proven performance of Dynisma's DMG-1 simulator, combining ultra-low latency, exceptional motion fidelity and industry-leading bandwidth to create one of the most realistic Driver-in-the-Loop simulation environments available. The system supports vehicle development, driver preparation and engineering evaluation as the team progresses towards its FIA WEC Hypercar debut next year.
The DMG-1 system has been installed at the McLaren Technology Centre, where it is supporting the team's ongoing development activities ahead of its entry into the FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar category in 2027.
McLaren Hypercar Team is preparing to enter the FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar category in 2027 with the McLaren MCL-HY programme. The programme marks McLaren's return to the top class of endurance racing and a renewed pursuit of overall honours at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
James Barclay, Team Principal, McLaren Hypercar Team said: "As we continue developing our Hypercar programme, access to a dedicated Driver-in-the-Loop simulator with the capability and fidelity of Dynisma is an important asset for our engineering and driver groups. High-quality simulation allows us to accelerate learning, evaluate development directions efficiently and maximise preparation for our on-track testing programme. The correlation delivered by the system will provide valuable confidence in the work that the team will do in testing and racing."
Mikkel Jensen, McLaren Hypercar Team Driver, said: "Simulator work is a key part of modern endurance racing programmes and having a platform that provides immediate, natural feedback makes a big difference. The realism of the motion cues and vehicle response allows us to focus on genuine vehicle development rather than adapting to the simulator itself. It gives drivers and engineers a highly effective environment to prepare and make progress before arriving at the circuit."
Graeme Cook, CEO of Dynisma, said: "Dynisma is proud to support McLaren Hypercar Team as the team develops its FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar programme. High-fidelity simulation is now fundamental to modern motorsport, with teams demanding ever greater levels of realism and correlation from their simulator environments. The DMG-1 has established itself as a trusted platform across top-level motorsport, and we look forward to seeing the team benefit from its capabilities throughout the development of the programme.”
Developed and built by a team of world-class engineers committed to pioneering solutions in motion generation, Dynisma supplies leading motorsport teams and automotive OEMs around the world. Its simulators are available as turnkey solutions or customised to exact customer requirements, offering the ability to integrate any type of vehicle, whether current production, prototype or race car, for both motorsport and automotive applications.

About McLaren Hypercar Team
McLaren Hypercar Team is the FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar team established by McLaren Endurance Racing ahead of its entry into the championship's premier category in 2027. Launched on the 30th anniversary of McLaren's victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995, the team forms part of McLaren's return to top-level endurance racing and its pursuit of overall victory at Le Mans.
Led by Team Principal James Barclay, McLaren Hypercar Team will campaign the MCL-HY in the FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar category from 2027. The programme combines McLaren's racing heritage with modern endurance racing technology, with the MCL-HY designed by McLaren, built by Dallara and operated in conjunction with United Autosports.
McLaren Racing is one of the most successful names in world motorsport and remains the only team to have achieved motorsport's Triple Crown through victories at the Monaco Grand Prix, the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The return to endurance racing represents the next chapter in McLaren's pursuit of success at the highest levels of international competition.
